INTrOduCTION

Thank you for purchasing the OMRON HJA-313 activity monitor. This monitor uses OMRON’s proprietary “Active Engine 2” technology to measure your physical activities, including household chores, desk work and walking, and calculates the number of calories you have burned in a day. This monitor is an everyday tool that can help you find a healthy balance between diet and exercise.

THE OMrON JOg STyLE FEATurES■ Keeping your jogging recordsRecords of your jogging such as the amount oftime, distance, calories burned during the run,and pace at which you run can be checked atany time.■ Measurement accuracy will still be

You can wear it anywhere.■ Weekly diet support functionThis activity monitor has a function that supports your weight reduction program (refer to “Weekly Diet Support” on page 3).■ BacklightThis activity monitor has a backlight for nightuse (refer to “BACKLIgHT” on page 20).

WorkoutThis term generally refers to exercise or training conducted to improve health or fitness. However, in this manual, it refers to one jogging or walking training session that you perform.

Calories BurnedThis monitor displays activity calories and total calories burned separately. The number of activity calories serves as an exercise guideline. The total number of calories burned is useful for controlling your diet.Establishing a healthy balance between diet and exercise

Weekly diet Support■y When you set how much weight you want to lose in the next four weeks (weight reduction target), the activity monitor calculates the target amount in terms of activity calories you should burn in a week and supports your weight reduction goals.

■y The weekly target of activity calories is displayed as 100%.

INTrOduCTION

■y The value for the usual activity calories is updated every four weeks according to your activities. However, the average value calculated from your personal data is used for the first few days.

■y This activity monitor cannot measure the amount of calories you have taken in. If you have failed to achieve the weight reduction target, you may have taken in more calories than you have burned.

■y The weight reduction target is a guideline. It is not guaranteed that you will lose that amount of weight.

■y The week starts on a Sunday.* If you set your target on any

day other than Sunday, it is not displayed until the next Sunday comes.

Example of display: when the target is set on a ThursdayNOTE: DLeft 3 indicates that Weekly Diet

Support will start after three days have elapsed.

5

INTrOduCTION

■■ Displayed valuesThe display shows a guideline for the amount ofactivity time per day required to achieve yourweekly target* and a percentage indicating thelevel of achievement.* The activity period is calculated on the assumption

that all of your activities involve walking (4 km/h).Actually, your daily activities also reduce the activity period, however, jogging or other vigorous activities reduce it faster.

Today’s target amount of activity time changes depending on the activities you performed on previous days.

■■ Achievement level indicatorThis indicator shows how much of your weeklytarget has been achieved.

■■ Congratulations markThis mark is displayed when you have achievedyour weekly target. When you have almostachieved your weekly target, the mark raises onehand to encourage you.
